Wow--didn't realize I haven't updated the blog in almost three weeks!
First of all, library business: we'll close at 6 this Wednesday (November 26th) and then be closed Thursday the 27th for Thanksgiving. We'll reopen Saturday at 10 with regular hours (until 5). We'll also be closing at 6 next Tuesday (Dec. 2) for the Rome Christmas Parade--which leads to.....
"Utterances" (the teen creative writing workshop hosted by Berry College students). The original date for the final workshop was Tuesday the 2nd--but since it doesn't start til 6:30, the library's closing at 6, and traffic downtown will be awful, we've rescheduled to Wednesday, December 3rd--still 6:30-8PM, still in the Coosa Room :)
The following day, Thursday, December 4th, will be our next TAB meeting--7PM in the Children's Department office. We'll have some type of snack (I'm open to suggestions!) and do things like:
*Choose a logo design contest winner (if you want to enter, there's still time--just make sure your submission is in by closing on Saturday, November 29th).
*Finalize the plans for our Teen Christmas Party on Saturday, December 13th (from 2-4 PM in the Oostanaula Room). So far we've got an Ugly Christmas Sweater contest, White Elephant gift exchange, and cookie decorating. We were going to do classic Claymation cartoons in the background, but the screen and projector are in the Coosa Room, which is already booked. At our last meeting, we also talked about doing cards for soldiers--I'll look into that and see what I can do :) Any other ideas you have, bring them on!
Now for the book review--this one comes courtesy of Hailey, age 12. Her review is on 'The Fault in Our Stars'. She gave it 5 stars.
"The book was about a girl who had cancer and she meets a guy and they become best friends. I liked it because it had a lot of detail to it and it was sad at the same time."
I had to take a line out of her review because it's a huuuuuge spoiler--but she recommends it for a sixth grader :)
I hope all of you have a great Thanksgiving!
